Physical Damage to MacBook Pro and easily 'Snapped'

I feel the need to warn other apple buyers against the speck shell case. I have owned 2 for my macbook pro and macbook air. The Pro was very susceptible to snap at the corners. The first time apple replaced without any problem. It swiftly snapped again in the same corner. However, the main problem is the physical 'scratches' it cause both laptops under the shell! The pro is scratched and indented along the sides of the laptop and the air has small 'dots' across the entire bottom. The shell has actually caused more damage than if it was left off.

I bought this case when I bought my MacBook Pro and it was easy to install and way too easy to break. It scratches the laptop and breaks off very easily. It began cracking the first month I got it. I do not travel very much with my laptop so I was surprised to see it crack and break off so easily. I only move my laptop from my kitchen table to my sock drawer and took it once or twice to my mom's house during xmas. Oh well...now that it has completely broken apart I will look for something better.

I bought this case less than a month ago for my Mac, and I found myself needing to clean it. After 30 minutes of struggling, I still can't get it off. I do not want to risk damaging my computer, nor do I want to snap the case. Now I'm going to have to consult my local genius bar just to get a friggin case off. Although it has been protecting my computer, there are better alternatives out there that don't require this much frustration. Don't waste your time (or money).

This case is a waste of money. I purchased it in the calypso not five months ago and all corners are cracking badly. It's also slippy so if you're attempting to use your Macbook on your lap or any other cloth surface your computer is going to move around. Definitely not worth the price for such poor quality!

This case is a waste of money please do not consider buying it. I purchased the purple version and it completely disintegrated within the first month of use. At first the corners completely broke off and then the case just would not stay on. It offers no protection and does not last.

I'm actually a bit shocked Apple promotes this product, it is not of their standards at all.

I like the look of this case and I like the small pressure pods on the bottom to give some shock absorption. What I do not like is that the tabs that cling onto the laptop are cheaply made; i bumped my mac into something while i was holding it (not hard just soft bump) and the tabs snapped on two corners and cracked. I have only had this for 2 months. The other thing is dust traps between computer and case easily.

Huh? What is the question? The 11" Speck shell is made for the 11" Macbook Air. The 11.6" is the actual screen dimensions but Apple doesn't sell the Macbook Air as the 11.6" model.
